I have to say that my respect for some of the members may lead to a bias decision in voting, even if subconcious. Is it a worth considering not posting the name of the photographer until the winner is picked?

Is it my imagination, or are a lot of people getting carried away with intensifying the colors in their photos? I'm sure some of these psychodelic corals, sponges and stunning blue waters wow non-diving friends and family, but some of these intense colors ahve sure never appeared in Mother Nature's realm as far as I've ever seen...

There are no plans to change the contest's format at present, but if anyone has any ideas, now might be a good time to air them. In the meantime, I look forward to another fantastic array of images over the next two years!
